JBL has been designing and building sound systems for decades, so they know a thing or two about power. Their GX-A604 4-channel amplifier can send 60 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers, about five times the power of most factory radios. The GX-A604 includes speaker-level inputs, so it's perfect for upgrading the power in a factory system.

Versatile tone filters — versatile amp

You can also use the GX-A604 in 3-channel mode, using the front channels to power your front speakers, and bridging the rear channels together to drive a subwoofer with 170 watts RMS. A high-pass filter cleans up the sound by removing extreme low bass from small full-range speakers, allowing them to play louder and cleaner. You can switch the rear filter to low-pass mode when you're driving a subwoofer, while the built-in bass boost adds some punch when you're in the mood.

Great little amp

Guest from Friendswood, TX on 3/7/2018

I'm pushing some Cerwin Vega 6X9 speakers and some 4X6 MA Audio speakers on my 1994 GMC truck they sound crystal clear my HU is a Alpine with three sets of RCA jacks so it hooks up super easy now I custom fit the rear 6X9's to fit where the 4X6's were and it's 100% better I'm also pushing a 12" Subwoofer with a Fosgate amp it does great oh the amp fits perfect under the back seat.

Pros:Clean sound enough power.

Cons:

Ok

was somewhat disappointed in the sound after installation of this amp along with Focal front spekers. I have tried several different methods to dial in the sound to no avail. Not sure the upgrade was worth the time and money spent. Also, I did not receive an instruction manual which added to my frustration.

Excellent Buy

Bought 2 of these amps. Bridging both of them into 2 channels each. Each channel is powering an Eminence DELTALITE 2510-4 speaker. 4 speakers total. They are 10", 4 ohm PA speakers. They are combined with 4 JBL GTO 1214D subwoofers. They are powered by a JBL GTO1001EZ amplifier. System is going into a Caprice station wagon. We just bench tested everything in the garage over the weekend. Not only is it super loud, but crystal clear. We popped the garage door open and walked out 40 feet. Amazing how crystal clear the vocals are. Mids and highs are great. This is with the amps high filters on and using our subs for the low end. I also tested the amps in full range with the sub system disconnected. That sounded excellent too. They really pushed them 10" Eminence speakers on the low end. Surprised me actually. Them speakers are rated at 250 rms each and I was only putting 170 rms through them. Super loud and clear. I recommend them if your needing a full range 10" speaker. The 604 amp really impressed me for its crystal clear output and volume. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Bet this amp would work good with some 6x9s that could handle its output. The only negative I have us that I wish it had a cover to hide the wire hook ups like the 1001EZ has. That still wouldn't keep me from buying another.

Pros:Excellent price for sound clarity and loudness.

Cons:None that would hinder purchasing.

Very good amp!!

I have this amp powering 4 door speakers, Polk Audio DXi6500 6-1/2" component speakers in the front and Polk Audio DXi 650s 6-1/2" 2-way shallow-mount speakers in the rear of a 2006 Dodge Ram truck. They are loud as anything and crystal clear using this amp. I first hooked them up just powering them with my Pioneer head unit and wow what a difference this amp made after installing it, very easy install and plenty of adjustments and power. Buy this amp and you will not regret it!!

Protection Circuitry: The amplifier features protection
circuitry for thermal overload, over- or under-voltage (<9V or >16V), and short circuits. The LED on the
end of the amp glows red if the amp goes into protection mode.

Controls

Input Level: The GX-A604's rotary gain control let you match the
amp's input sensitivity to the output of the source unit. There are independent
input level controls for the front and rear channels. The input sensitivity
range of the amplifier is continuously variable between 200mV and 12V. A small
screwdriver (not included) is required to set the gain.

Input Mode: The amp's 4 channels can be driven by input
signals from 4 channels. If you only have 2 channels of input, the Input Mode
can be switched to "2CH" and all four channels will receive audio signal from
the two connected inputs. The switch should remain at "4CH" if there are 4
inputs connected.

Crossover: The amp features separate crossovers for the
front and rear channels. For the front, there is a selectable 80Hz high-pass
filter with an On/Off switch. The rear channels feature a 32Hz to 320Hz variable
crossover. A 3-way switch lets you configure the crossover for high-pass or low-pass
operation, or switched to "flat" to defeat the crossover.

Bass Boost: The GX-A604 has a switchable 12dB bass boost,
centered at 45Hz, for the rear channels. This is useful when using the rear
channels of the amplifier in bridged mode to power a subwoofer.

Connections

Terminals: The JBL GX-A604 uses screw
terminals for the +12V power, ground, turn-on (remote) lead, and speaker
outputs. The screws can be tightened/loosened with a Phillips-head or flat-head
screwdriver (not provided).

Power/Ground: The +12V Power and Ground terminals will
accept spade connectors up to 1/2" wide. It is recommended that you use an
8 AWG power wire to the battery, with an in-line 50A fuse installed no more than
18" from the battery terminal. An 8 AWG ground wire (minimum) should be used, and
attached to a metal area close to the amplifier.

Remote Turn-On: The Remote screw terminal will accept a
spade connector up to 3/8" wide. Typically, an 18 AWG turn-on lead is included in an amplifier
wiring kit.

Speaker-Level Input: The amp includes two Speaker Level
Input harnesses for connecting the amp to a factory radio or aftermarket head
unit without preamp outputs. You should splice left and right speaker wires from
the head unit to each harness and plug the harnesses into the amp.

Line-Level Inputs: The amplifier is equipped with two pairs
of RCA inputs for connecting stereo RCA patch cables from the head unit to the
amp. If you are bridging the amplifier's rear channels and have only one input
for the rear channel, a "Y"-adapter will be needed to connect the left and right
rear RCA inputs.

Speaker Outputs: The amp features screw terminals for connecting speakers in
4-channel, 3-channel, or 2-channel configurations. In 3-channel mode, the front
channels are connected in stereo and the rear channels are bridged (using Left + and the
Right - terminals). For 2-channel mode, both pairs of speaker terminals are
bridged. The terminals will accept a spade
connector up to 3/8" wide.

Crutchfield askedWhy did you buy this?

Jackson helped me out with this.
As I could not really afford at this time to get the ultimate package I really wanted.
I decided just to get something to tide me over until I can pull out the stops and get
the set up I want. I'm sure this will do the job for now. Plus I found a scratch & dent model
(who is going to see it anyway?) and found some rewards points that I applied......perfect !!!

A lot of positive reviews on this item.
[ CHARLES Jan 21, 2016 ]

After much research and speaking with advisors, I finally came across this amp. It does everything I need, all packed within a quality brand. Someone once told me that it's okay to buy cheap stuff for things that don't matter as much, but with electronics, especially car audio, you never buy cheap.

3 questions already asked

When powering those 2.3-ohm JBL/Infinity speakers with an external amplifier, you can expect your amp to provide roughly the same wattage output at 2-ohm as you would at 2.3-ohm. So with this amp for example, you would get approximately 85 watts RMS x4 when powering the 2.3-ohm speakers.
[ Larry Nov 27, 2015 ] Staff

I mounted the amp under the driver's seat directly to the carpet using only the hook portion of 2" strips of self adhesive Velcro attached to the bottom of the amp since it didn't want to drill any holes into the floor of the vehicle for screws. I had the amp oriented such that the terminal blocks were facing towards the center console for easier input/output wiring. I put a 2" slice in the carpet next to the center console to pass the wires to the head unit, speakers and battery. The cut in the carpet was placed low enough so that you couldn't see it after the seat was reinstalled. This Velcro mounting system also allowed me to make minor adjustments to the amp's position under the seat for the best placement so the amp would not get kicked by a passenger in the back seat or get caught by any seat parts when the driver adjusted the seat forward and back. Hope this helps.

Hi, I mounted it in the trunk, on a piece of board. The board is attached to the metal frame that backs up the rear seat. So it is in a vertical position. the car is a Nissan Maxima. Hope this helps.
